Operation Manual

03_04

This light should, however, go out once the engine has been started.

If the light comes on during braking, at idling speed or while turning a corner,

it is necessary to check the oil level and top up if required. If, after having topped

up the oil, the warning light persists in coming on while braking, at idling speed

or while turning a corner, it will be necessary to turn to an Authorised Piaggio

service centre.

Engine oil change (03_03, 03_04)

The engine oil and filter must be replaced every 6,000 km by an authorised Piaggio

service centre. The engine should be emptied by draining the oil via the drainage cap

"B" of the gauze filter on the transmission side. In order to facilitate the oil drainage,

loosen the cap/dipstick "A". Since a certain quantity of oil still remains in the circuit,

filling must be done with engine oil via cap "A". Then start the scooter, allow it to run

for a few minutes and then switch it off: after five minutes, check the level and if nec-

essary top up without exceeding the MAX. level. The cartridge filter must be

replaced at every oil change. For top up and change, use new oil of the recommended

type.

CAUTION

RUNNING THE ENGINE WITH INSUFFICIENT LUBRICATION OR WITH INADE-

QUATE LUBRICANTS ACCELERATES THE WEAR AND TEAR OF THE MOVING

PARTS AND CAN CAUSE IRRETRIEVABLE DAMAGE.

TOPPING UP THE ENGINE WITH AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL MAY CAUSE

MALFUNCTION AND/OR A DROP IN PERFORMANCE OF THE VEHICLE.

USING OILS OTHER THAN THOSE RECOMMENDED CAN SHORTEN THE LIFE

OF THE ENGINE.

WARNING

EXCESSIVE OIL LEVEL AT TOP-UPS CAN LEAD TO SCALE FORMATION AND

VEHICLE MALFUNCTIONING.
